Two years ago I bought this school bus from the county and put TONS of work into it! We've used it for multiple trans-east coast trips and it has been everything we hoped it would be. Work has changed and we just don't have enough time to use it and justify holding on to it. I have had the vehicle re-titled as a "House Car" in North Carolina. The bus is a short bus on a full sized chassis: 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 10 feet high. The vehicle is located in Winston-Salem NC. Below I list some of the work I've done (or had done) to it.
